I believe the deal with biker build off and American Chopper is that the show tried to create drama. While motorcyclist would have watched just for the content, that is not enough audience for a major network. The couch potatoes need the "reality show drama" to tune in week after week, since the majority do not ride they most be motivated by something else.

A couple of years ago there was this show on about a bike build shop. It was like a sitcom. Old long hair owner and his wife plus the hot receptionist and pratical jokes all over the place. What was the name of that show? It was hillarious

I'm afraid the whole chopper craze is over. Just like the Harley craze.

Chopper craze is over for sure but Harley craze will never end. Seems like everybody wants a Street Glide.

Forget the name of the show but it sounds like it was Rick Fairless from Strokers Dallas...

They are going to bring back American Thunder after Michele gets another boob job and a face lift.

That was Rick Fairless from Strokers in Dallas. Show was pretty close to what goes on in at Stroker's Ice House.
